# Template Prioritization 2026

**Last Updated:** 2026-02-26

Data-driven prioritization for template publish, improve, and deprecate decisions. Aligns with [TEMPLATE_SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.md](TEMPLATE_SYSTEM_OVERVIEW.md) — 9 published, rest draft.

## Production Templates (10)

| Slug | Primary Keyword | Action |
|------|-----------------|--------|
| wochenplan-vorlage | wochenplan erstellen vorlage kostenlos | Improve (highest ROI) |
| stundenzettel-excel-vorlage | stundenzettel vorlage | Improve |
| dienstplan-excel-vorlage | dienstplan vorlage | Improve |
| arbeitszeugnis-vorlage | vorlage arbeitszeugnis | Improve |
| schichtplan-excel-vorlage | excel schichtplan vorlage | Improve |
| stellenbeschreibung-vorlage | vorlage stellenbeschreibung | Improve |
| lohnabrechnung-vorlage | lohnabrechnung vorlage | Improve |
| abwesenheitsnotiz-vorlage | abwesenheitsnotiz outlook vorlage | Improve |
| compliance-checkliste-vorlage | compliance checkliste vorlage | Published 2026-02 |
| onboarding-checkliste-vorlage | onboarding checkliste vorlage | Published 2026-02 |

## Publish Next (Drafts with Distinct Keywords)

Run `analyze-template-keyword-overlap.php --use-sistrix` before publishing to avoid cannibalization.

| Template ID | Target Slug | Primary Keyword | ROI | Notes |
|-------------|-------------|-----------------|-----|-------|
| abwesenheitsnotiz-vorlage | abwesenheitsnotiz-vorlage | abwesenheitsnotiz outlook vorlage | 608 | Slug OK |
| arbeitsbescheinigung-vorlage | arbeitsbescheinigung-vorlage | vorlage arbeitsbescheinigung | 304 | Slug OK |
| training-schedule | hygieneschulung-vorlage | hygieneschulung vorlage pdf | 150 | 0% comp, niche |

## Deprecate or Merge

| Template | Action |
|----------|--------|
| vacation-planning | Merge urlaubsplanung content into urlaubsantrag-vorlage when published. Do not publish as separate template. |
| anwesenheitsliste-vorlage | Defer — 10 vol only |
| performance-review | Defer — overlaps employee-onboarding |

## Best Practices

- **Same use case, different keywords:** OK if targeting distinct keywords with no SISTRIX overlap
- **One primary keyword per template** — secondary for long-tail
- **Cannibalization check** — Run before publishing any new template in same category
- **Slug migration** — Apply when promoting draft to published (TEMPLATE_SLUG_MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)

## Data Refresh

To regenerate ROI and overlap data:

```bash
php v2/scripts/templates/collect-template-keywords-sistrix.php  # Requires SISTRIX API
php v2/scripts/templates/generate-template-priority-from-sistrix.php
php v2/scripts/templates/analyze-template-keyword-overlap.php --use-sistrix
```

See [TEMPLATE_PRIORITY_LIST.md](../../v2/systems/excel-template-generator/docs/TEMPLATE_PRIORITY_LIST.md) for full tier breakdown.
